2014 versus 2016
Quick question: better value a 2014 RT with 23 thousand miles or 2016 with 61 thousand miles? The 2014 RT is 12 thousand USD and the 2016 RT is 10000 USD. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: 2014 versus 2016
All depends on condition and service history. Mileage has never bothered me as long as the service history is good. Main dealer history better

There was an issue with 2014 and early 2015 bikes where the alternator and Stator packed up and the battery stopped charging. Very expensive to fix, engine out. One of our 2014 bikes had this issue and it cost us north of £2000 to fix at mates rates. It would put me off the early water cooled bikes.
